Anyone that has driven Interstate 10 between Tucson and New Mexico has passed the roadside attraction (and curio store, gas station and Dairy Queen) called The Thing? (Mile 322). Dozens of large yellow billboards advertise the place for miles and miles in both directions.
The Thing? has been there for as long as 40 years and NewMexiKen has passed it many, many times, never stopping. Recently I decided to stop, pay the $1 admission, and see what it was.
So now I’ve seen The Thing?
So did you have a coke?
You know, I stopped there once, after years of wondering what the hell it was. And now I CAN’T REMEMBER!
The Thing triumphs. Ambiguity is all.
